There is a lot of good music out right now that I’m pretty excited about. Check out some of these links for full album zip downloads:




Sunset Rubdown – Dragonslayer
Spencer Krug is my favorite musician of the moment because he is a genius. His other band is Wolf Parade, and his other other band is Swan Lake. But this side project trumps them all. And I can’t believe I missed them when they came to Boston a couple weeks ago!
Sonic Youth – The Eternal
New stuff from Northampton, Massachusetts’ finest.
Phoenix – Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Decent, upbeat, poppy Boston Band.
Fever Ray – Fever Ray
I LOVE this album. The chick from The Knife (dark electronic music by a Swedish brother/sister duo). It’s almost as good as a new Knife album would be.

Thanks for the music, Ryan! But I’m pretty sure Phoenix is a French band and Sonic Youth is a New York band.

Oh you’re right, I think I was thinking of Passion Pit when I wrote that about Phoenix. Too many “P” bands! And I know Kim and Thurston from SY do live in Northampton, so as a fellow Massachusettser, I’m still claiming them!

Hey Ryan,
I am with you on the Sonic Youth and Fever Ray albums. Still can’t handle S.R.. Maybe some day I will get past the singer’s voice. I will check out Phoenix and let you know. As always thx for the heads up on any good music!

That is so awesome that you’re into Passion Pit and sucklike local bands……in that case, check out Kid:Nap:Kin and The Everyday Visuals. The Shills too, if you haven’t already. Totally different sounds, but all really talented musicians.
